Robbie Coleman signs with the Force

NewSimulationShoes, September 29, 2019

Brumbies back Robbie Coleman is heading west, after signing with the Force for two seasons.

In a big blow for the ACT franchise, whose backs stocks have already been heavily depleted by the departure of Joe Tomane, Matt Toomua and Christian Lealiifano’s illness, Coleman will join the Perth club.

Coleman has played 80 Super Rugby matches for the Brumbies, after growing up in Canberra, and said the call was the most difficult of his tenure, with a year still remaining on his contract.

“This is definitely the hardest decision I’ve had to make in my career,” Coleman said.

“Being a Queanbeyan junior, it was always my dream to play for the Brumbies and I’m very thankful that I’ve been able to run out and represent the side 80 times.
